Who is responsible for this blog?

See About Me and you will find that apparently an old Indian appropriately named "Shot-in-the-eye" is responsible for this blog. This blog is filled with hints as to its author. The author chooses to remain anonymous and if asked will most likely smile, deny responsibility and will refuse comment or acknowledgment. In the military and political world it is know as "plausible dependability". Never, ever acknowledge that you had anything to do with anything.

How is this blog supported?

In the present, October 2010 as we begin our adventure together, it can rightfully be stated that it is not supported (picture Atlas holding up the world, only the world bigger and Atlas, much, much smaller). This is an act of passion and love for my community, it's citizens and a desire to provide entertainment and information, much of which may not be easily attainable or if attainable not often accessed by the average citizen or visitor. Hopefully, over time with your kind involvement, it may, at minimum, be able to break even from advertising revenue, sponsorships and sales of products and information. For example, through a relationship established with Amazon.com I am able to offer you access to everything they sale through links and our online store "Shops at Salem" (coming soon). Your act of linking to Amazon.com from this blog results in a tiny fee payment back to us to support this blog. Get it? Always begin your visit to Amazon from here buy anything and you will be supporting us. It cost you nothing extra beyond a few mouse clicks and means everything to us.

The Nissen Building

310 West Fourth Street

The View

The highest residences in Winston-Salem are the Nissen Building’s top floors. The roof top pool offers a panoramic vision of the metropolis with the ambiance of its surrounds. North, stands majestic Pilot Knob west of the blue haze of the Sauratown range. East, billows smoke from Belews Creek's stacks beyond the towering R.J. Reynolds building and Winston Tower. West, the Blue Ridge with its undulating Parkway, South, majestic Salem spreads beyond the domed granite of the Wachovia tower. Gaze down on Falls radiant colors as the swifts queue for a night perch in the Steven’s Center flue. Share a glass of wine relaxing with a soothing sunset. Evenings watching and listening to the new awakening of our downtown. Awake in the mornings to the bustle of a flourishing city awakening to a new dawn. Missing is the syrupy, sweet aroma of tobacco manufacturing. It’s a new day in Salem.
